## Quickstart
### Software
On a fresh installation of Raspbian [Buster Lite](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/) on a Raspberry Pi, run the following commands to install everything you need to run the Nido thermostat:
```bash
cd ~
mkdir nido
cd nido
curl -fsSL get-nido.moveolabs.com | source /dev/stdin
```
For the extra cautious, you can verify the checksum of the install script, below, and the download domain [ownership](https://keybase.io/alexmensch).
```bash
shasum -a 256 get-nido.sh
ff1e30736203abfb22656b5d23a1b7984b0915e75b810dd09c11f5dfbc642dfb get-nido.sh
```
Once Nido is up and running, you can add it as a new accessory in the Apple Home app using the default code `94812494` or by scanning the QR code in the Homebridge startup logs. Make sure your Apple device is on the same network as the Raspberry Pi.
### Hardware
Aside from a Raspberry Pi, you'll need the custom Nido PCB and the necessary components. Once this is built, it plugs straight into the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header.
